"In that case, I'd like to see what other tricks you have!"
Instructor Ouyang's expression was icy, filled with immense anger. He had been displeased even back at the Dragon Country headquarters, but he knew Lu Fan was not weak, otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
"You're already at the end of your rope. Even if you go all out, you probably won't be able to hurt me!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "So you should understand that you are definitely going to die now."
"You seem to know my situation quite well!"
Instructor Ouyang narrowed his eyes. "But I am a War Emperor! How can I be insulted by someone like you!"
With that, Instructor Ouyang exerted his strength again, attempting to forcibly attack Lu Fan. However, he found his internal power insufficient. His face instantly turned pale, and in that very instant, he became tense.
"What, feeling powerless?"
Lu Fan smiled. "You could barely cope at the Dragon Country headquarters, let alone now!"
"The Canglong Academy has immense power, with the Ghost Hall backing them. By making enemies of them, you will only die faster!"
Instructor Ouyang said coldly. "I hope you'll think clearly and not do anything foolish!"
"I thought very clearly at the headquarters!"
Lu Fan said coldly. "You are destined to die today, and no one can save you!"
In a flash, Lu Fan unleashed his Tai Xu Sword Intent. His aura was incredibly terrifying. He was now fighting with his back against the wall. If he couldn't kill Instructor Ouyang, he would face grave danger in the future.
"Let me lend you a hand!"
Lin Ke, despite his injuries, rushed over. He exuded an imposing aura, his eyes cold. He understood very well that some things could be done and some could not. Instructor Ouyang was arrogant and harbored a killing intent towards them, so they would never let him off easily.
Instructor Ouyang felt despair. To be cornered like this as a War Emperor was almost laughable.
"I'll lend you a hand as well!"
Long Yi arrived, his gaze serious. He did not want Lu Fan and the others to be in danger, which was why he had pursued them. More importantly, if Instructor Ouyang, a mentor of Canglong Academy, were allowed to return today, even stronger experts would come for them in the future.
"I truly never imagined that my lifelong reputation would be ruined by you!"
Instructor Ouyang was filled with unwillingness, but he was helpless. Lu Fan's strength was too formidable, especially with the Tai Xu Sword. Even in his prime, he couldn't gain any advantage.
In that instant, a powerful force surged forth. Instructor Ouyang launched a desperate attack. Under the siege of the Tai Xu Sword, he appeared to be barely holding on, looking utterly disheveled.
Lin Ke didn't hold back either, unleashing his ultimate killing technique and pressing towards Instructor Ouyang.
At the same time, Long Yi also attacked instantly. This was the most opportune moment. Missing this chance would be detrimental to them.
Rumble…
A massive impact resounded. Instructor Ouyang fell to the ground, a trace of despair in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, never having imagined such an end.
"We've finally dealt with him!"
Long Yi sighed, his eyes filled with worry. "Instructor Ouyang was a War Emperor. The Canglong Academy will surely not let the loss of a War Emperor go unanswered. We must make plans soon!"
"We'll deal with whatever comes. Just remember one thing: if others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they offend me, I will strike back!"
Lu Fan said coldly. "That's how one should live to have a clear conscience!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They recognized the truth in Lu Fan's words.
"Now that the five ancient clans and two divine swords have appeared, the Ghost Hall will likely make a move against us soon!"
Lu Fan spoke again. "We must be exceptionally cautious. After all, the Ghost Hall will never let go of what happened in ancient times."
Lin Ke and Long Yi nodded slightly. They were well aware of this, but their strength was far from enough to deal with the Ghost Hall.
After dealing with Instructor Ouyang, the entire Dragon Country became calm, yet the event was quite shocking. No one knew what realm Lu Fan's strength had reached, to the point that even a War Emperor-level expert died at his hands. If this news spread, wouldn't it cause an immense stir?
"Lu, you truly make us look up to you!"
Elder Seven spoke, filled with admiration for Lu Fan. Lu Fan, being so young, had reached such a level, making others feel utterly outclassed.
"It seems our plan to attack the Canglong Kingdom needs to be expedited!"
Lu Fan smiled. "Now that I have the Tai Xu Sword, my true combat power has likely soared. Dealing with the Canglong Kingdom should be no problem!"
"In that case, we will march on the Canglong Kingdom tomorrow!"
Elder Grand spoke. "It's better to strike early than late. There's no better day than today. I'd like to see if the Canglong Kingdom can withstand our attack when the Dragon Country takes the initiative!"
With these words, many elders felt confident. Lu Fan, who could kill even a War Emperor on the spot, would surely be able to deal with the experts of the Canglong Kingdom. They didn't need to worry too much.
After the elders departed, Lu Fan and the others returned to Jiangjing Villa. Gazing at the Tai Xu Sword in his hand, Lu Fan found it irresistible. The Tai Xu Sword was no ordinary sword. Lu Fan could clearly feel that its power would grow as his own strength increased. This way, the Tai Xu Sword could accompany him forever, even if he reached extremely high realms.
What was even more terrifying was that as Lu Fan's strength increased, the Tai Xu Sword would unleash even greater power. He was very satisfied with this aspect.
"After we deal with the Canglong Kingdom, what are your plans?" Long Yi looked at Lu Fan.
"Even if I have no plans, the Canglong Academy won't let me off!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But I'd like to see how many in the Canglong Academy are not afraid of death!"
"There are not a few War Emperor-level experts in the Canglong Academy!"
Long Yi's expression was solemn. "More importantly, besides these experts, the Dean is a formidable figure. If he were to personally intervene, you would have no chance of survival!"
"Don't worry. Among the five ancient clans, although the Lu and Lin clans have declined, the Ye clan is incredibly powerful. How could they allow us to be harmed!" Lu Fan's expression was serious.
Long Yi nodded slightly. "That's true. Regardless, we are all members of the five ancient clans. They will never stand by and watch us suffer, especially since we have a common enemy!"
"So there's no need to worry too much!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, not saying any more. He knew very well that some things could not be escaped.
